Description: Description This striking etching depicts Jacobite troupes gathering in the courtyard of Holyrood House ahead of the Battle of Culloden in 1745. The palace played a significant part in Bonnie prince Charlie's attempt to restore his family's line to the British throne, becoming centre of his court. David Young Cameron was a painter and prolific printmaker, born in Glasgow, Scotland. He trained at evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art and then entered the Royal Institution, Edinburgh, 1885. Between 1892 and 1893 he exhibited at the NEAC and became one of Britain's most prolific etchers. His paintings of Scottish landscapes use boldly simplified shapes and strong colours. He was elected RE, 1895, RWS, 1906, RSA, 1918 and RA in 1920 and also showed with the Society of Twelve and at Connell and Sons. Knighted in 1924 he was appointed King's Painter and Limner in Scotland in 1933. During World War I Cameron was an Official War Artist enlisted by the Canadian Government and his work is in the collection of the Dick Institute, IWM, McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Museums Sheffield, NRM, Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Tate Gallery, Perth Museum and Art Gallery, Williamson Art Gallery and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. His sister was the painter Katherine Cameron. Details Size: 33cm x 47cm Framed Size: 63cm x 77cm
